I figured they'd appear as soon as I learned this episode's title, but I only know of them "historically."

I don't believe there are any questions about the paternity of LIsa Marie's children. You might be thinking of the children of her ex-husband, Micahel Jackson, but those kids are not Presley's, and Jackson, to the best of my knowledge, never claimed to be his children's biological father. Or at least not for well…

Yeah, I think the foley guys made one of the dragon screams sound like it was saying "mama!" Heart-wrenching, but you knew it was coming as soon as Drogon took that goat two episodes ago.

The umbilical cord is an outgrowth of the developing embryo and is based on the child's DNA.

I also stopped after Season 4!

I've mentioned before I was in the audience for Aaron Brown v. Ashleigh Banfield v. Ari Fleischer. Fleischer mopped the floor with them. Brown was dumb as a post. Banfield was ok, but still embarrassing if she hadn't been so much better than Brown.

I think overthinking had to be the culprit — the clue said he retired in '79. Maybe people figured he had another posting after the country in question. My first though was the Austro-Hungarian Empire and then I realized that was too long.

This is so true. Living in a cosmopolitan area, I find myself sometimes helping non-native speakers (often very well educated people) nail down the grammar of a sentence with precision. So frequently when I'm asked why some atypical construction is correct my only explanation is "I don't know, it just is!" Both my…

I guess because it's so cold and dark all the time, you guys just sit around overdeterning the relationships between nouns.

Agreed with the first part. As for the conclusion, I think by reveling in some of the violence it portrays, it is confronting the viewer with his own complicity.

Hodor.

I'm pretty sure the characters will be the currently supported planeswalkers — Jace, Liliana, Chandra.

That's less true now than it was six or 10 years ago.

MOVE never forgets, pig!

"Mostly I was embarassed that the firefighters knew how many Captain & Tenille albums I had on there."

Yeah, as I've expressed elsewhere, I'm not such a fan of the concept of this feature. I know the stuff I liked when I was 12 doesn't hold up. I was 12!
But if he starts slinging shit about the Sunbow Transformers cartoon, I'm burning this place to the ground.

Seriously, I remember when I got UA and said "holy cow, thse are all the characters from the show! BUt it didn't come out for years afterwards. I always thought it such a strange idea to adapt D&D into a cartoon that couldn't be back-adapted into a campaign unless you were already so hardcore as to have a subscription…

Raistlin is an intersting character from a roleplaying standpoint. If most people are anything like the kids I played with (and like @avclub-29c0c0ee223856f336d7ea8052057753:disqus, there was a lot more consulting of manulas and rolling up characters than playing, although I did always do some of that), then they were…

Weird. Everywhere I've lived Wheel and Jeopardy have been on ABC. I think that's very common, but I wonder why one network has so many stations that broadcast the hour, but not all.

I haven't read anything all year, which is deeply embarassing. I've started a new consulting project where I'm riding the train to work again for the firsttime in a long while, so maybe that will provide an opportunity.
